They got me with the "packaged deal" language as well. Found a great rate for 2 nights at the London Hyatt for $507 including all taxes and 1,000 AA miles on AA.com. Best available hyatt rate was 165 BPS per night plus 17.5% VAT. Called and was told no because the rate included taxes. Booked the AA rate as with the taxes included it is a very good deal. Will call hotel in a few days to make sure Diamond status details are on the reservation.
